U.S. Demand for Key Hospital Supplies Could Surge 17-Fold
A recent survey found that U.S. hospitals with active COVID-19 cases are burning through their personal protective equipment much more rapidly than anyone expected.
The latest survey conducted by Premier (NASDAQ: PINC), which operates a leading hospital-supply purchasing network, showed that active COVID-19 cases increase a hospital's burn rate for N95 masks 17-fold. The average medical facility responding to its survey had 23 days worth of N95 masks, but those with active COVID-19 patients averaged just three days' worth.
